"Mr. Qian, why don't I go back to the mountain." Shang Xiaocheng said, "You have been out to greet refugees for these days, and you haven't had a good rest before you return to the trading company, and you have to rush to the mountains again, I'm afraid that your body will not be able to bear it." ”

"Underestimate me?" Steward Qian squinted at Shang Xiaocheng and said, "I think that when I was outside the Saiwai, I also had the experience of riding on a horse for a few days and nights without sleep, don't look at you are younger than me now, and you may not be able to do it." ”

Shang Xiaocheng stuck out his tongue, he didn't even dare to ride a horse now, let alone ride for a few days and nights, this time, he would return to the mountain in shifts, and he would have to practice well.

"Besides, only I can explain the matter of this official buying the head of the business, so that the proprietor can prepare early, and when you go back to the mountain, except for being able to say that something happened here, everything else is in vain." Speaking of this, the money manager also sighed a little, he expected it to be true, the letter was an official notice from the government, that is, to inform them that Zhuolu Trading Company was ordered to buy a shop by the government this year, and it was still the head of the line.

This kind of thing, Shang Xiaocheng and others don't know him, it's not strange, but the money manager didn't expect that the few account rooms brought by Zhou Chengyun had never heard of it, it seems that this big merchant with a background is different from a small businessman, and the official purchase of the shop can't fall on the head of these big merchants with a background, so they haven't even heard of their account room.

"The official in this state, his conscience let the dog eat it, and he actually took Uncle Sun as a hostage, and he was an official of the court, and he actually had the same virtue as the bandits." Shang Xiaocheng said indignantly, although he is not completely clear about the disaster in the mouth of the money manager, he also knows that it is precisely because Dr. Sun was brought to Liangtian Tunbao that they can't even escape, so they can only stay here alive and let others slaughter.

This is the content of the page in the envelope that the money manager has never discovered, a few very simple sentences, to the effect that Doctor Sun is a guest in his house, and the payment is You Hongyuan, the same knowledge of Baozhou, anyway, he knows that he You Hongyuan has the final say, there is no need to hide it.

"Hehe, these people's hearts, but it's dark, and the stones in the latrine can't be compared." Steward Qian sneered.

"Mr. Qian, you say, will Uncle Sun and Brother Xiaolin be okay?" Shang Xiaocheng asked.

"You can rest assured, even if they have ill intentions towards Dr. Sun, they will not do it until they have enough money, maybe, Dr. Sun will not know that he has been placed under house arrest at this time." The money steward comforted him, and then began to explain, "After I leave, I will take you as the leader, or the same sentence, don't make trouble, but don't be afraid of things, the officials and soldiers are mainly afraid that we will all run away, and they won't do anything, and they should beware of these helpers." ”

Only the money manager here knows, once the government decides whose shop is the official to buy the business, the various miscellaneous officials below will quickly collude with the gangsters, let these people be the vanguard, and extort first, the chief official will not care about these things, anyway, he must be the one who gets the big head in the end, he eats meat, and he has to let the people below drink soup.

Shang Xiaocheng nodded vigorously while listening, looking a little nervous, which is not surprising, after all, he is still young, and it is inevitable that he will take the lead alone for the first time.

"Maybe they will attack the courtyard and get some things, I don't worry if there are fewer people, if there are too many people..."The money steward paused, "If you really can't resist, you can do without money and food, find a way to save your life, and escape to live in heaven." ”

"That's... But no, food is not old and young, but you can't give it to them so freely. Hearing that he didn't want money and food, Shang Xiaocheng was not happy.

"Listen to me, boy, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, no matter how expensive the money and food are, and not as expensive as your life, think about your brother, ah?" Steward Qian persuaded bitterly, "Also, I just said that, I believe that our owner, Zhiwen, also agrees." ”

Shang Xiaocheng looked at the people in the courtyard, and held back for a long time before he reluctantly nodded, "Okay, listen to you, Mr. Qian." ”

"Bang! Bang! ”

The gate of the courtyard suddenly made two bangs, a big man with an evil smile, slowly retracted his feet, and his footprints were clearly left on the door, the first sound was made by him kicking on the door, and the second sound was the sound of the door hitting the edge of the wall.

"Zhuolu Trading Company, right?" The big man asked nonchalantly.

Steward Qian suppressed Shang Xiaocheng, who was angry and wanted to come forward to settle accounts with him, and replied in a cold voice, "Exactly, who is Your Excellency, and what are you doing?" ”

"Who am I? Hehe, just don't say it, it's not your ears to say it. The big man slowly crossed the threshold and walked into the courtyard with a few people, "Didn't you do this year's official shop shop?" Let's make the difference between the cost and the money. ”

Shang Xiaocheng raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Why should we give you our own silver for nothing!" ”

"Tsk, this little brother doesn't seem to understand anything, so I'm in a good mood today, and I'll tell you." The big man smacked his lips, "Since you have done the work, then the goods and errands of the other officials and shops will be undertaken by you, and the government is only looking for you, little brother, I see that you are not very old, do you know how to deal with those old immortals in other shops?" Hehe, if you can't do anything with them, then your goods and servants will have to be put on by yourself, how about it? Spend money to avoid disasters, so that we will not take the money in vain, and we will help you to buy other official shops. ”

Shang Xiaocheng didn't understand what this person meant at all, and looked at Qian Guan blankly.

The money manager took a half step forward and said in a deep voice, "I don't have to worry about this, we have our own way to deal with it." ”

These routines, he is very familiar with, this big man said well, collect some money, and then help them Zhuolu Trading Company to ask for other shops and official goods and errands, it seems that they are here to help, but if you believe it is true, really give the money, then it is a set, then other idlers outside will flock in, the same begging for money, do you give it or not?

If you give it, then the cost will be big, and don't think that these people really help you work with the money, and find an excuse to come to the door every once in a while, saying that the money is not enough, or somewhere you need to use silver money to open the joints, etc., etc., the money is constantly spent, but they don't do things, and the goods and errands of other shops, how much or how much, as the head of the line, you still have to pay for it yourself, and give these idlers money, and if you throw it into the water, you won't even see a bubble.

If they don't give it, then they have their own rogue means, blocking the gate, not letting people in and out, this is the lightest, if they still ignore it, then throw dead cats and dogs into the courtyard, or even tie people up and down to blackmail, one by one slowly, do not make the whole house collapse people's hearts, and the money will not be completely emptied.
